After reading The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold, I have altered my reading concerning serial killers to their victims, as they always get overlooked, pigeon-holed and dismissed by the press and some historians.
David Wilson has had my admiration as a specialist in these serial killers, so he did not sugarcoat their detestable crimes. Although the book planned to focus on the victims, as he states, due to their status (beneath the everyday capital class), there wasn't as much in-depth history of them before their death.
Very informative.
